I snapped about a gazillion pictures of my day today in preparation for the MY DAY event on Friday. I’m hoping a bunch of you will play along and share a day in your life this week. Remember, you don’t have to take lots of pictures if you don’t want to. A written timeline of your day is just fine too. For the next three days my big kids are doing standardized testing so I won’t be around lots, but you might want to stop by and check out my Tuesday morning post on my Ethiopia adoption blog.

About Me
I'm Mary, wife to John, and mom to 10 kids ages 3-20. Six of them were adopted, from Ethiopia and Korea. I spend my days applying Bandaids, reminding kids to use their inside voices, persuading kids fractions are useful, cooking spicy ethnic food, and snapping gig after gig of pictures. Very late at night, I write about it all.

Oh, congrats!! I thought maybe that was in the works after your hints last week. How fantastic! Best of luck for a smooth, fast process.
Hi Mary–
I’ve looked over your blog, and I’m sure I’m just missing it, but I can’t find your email.
I wanted to ask you how much it costs to adopt? And how long does it take to get a child once you start the process?
How awesome!!!! I’m so excited to follow along with this journey =)

How great!!!! Congratulations!!! jealousy is rearing it’s ugly head again at my house!
That is great! And-I cannot wait for Friday. If I can get my butt in gear I will participate!
What wonderful news!!!!!! How I hope someday to have my own news like this to announce!
I am thrilled for your family and for the two little ones who will become the newest Owlhavens.
I’m so excited for you, Mary! I can’t believe, though, that I had to read the news online… what’s the deal with not telling your sister about this???
Congratulations – I am just so excited for you! Good luck – we’ll keep you in our prayers!
How exciting! I hoped that would be your big news. I know you’ll keep us posted with all the details, right???
I’m going to try to do a day in my life this week. Depends on whether or not we get a baby between now and then… that would be an interesting day to choose.
Is it for the whole week? I forgot (you can respond to this via email)
How wonderful! About the additions, I mean. Though the photos will be fun, too!
Two more oh my! That is great news!
I posted my pictures today! Can’t wait to see them all on Friday! I took tons of pictures too, but tried to cut it down. It wasn’t easy!
